Instructions

1. 1

   Pound the steaks with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick to ensure tenderness.

2. 2

   Rub the steaks with salt, black pepper, the crushed bay leaf, and half of the minced garlic intended for the steak. Let them sit for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   While the steak marinates, prepare the sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the green chilies, cilantro, 2 garlic cloves, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup olive oil.

4. 4

   Pulse the sauce ingredients until smooth. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed. Set aside.

5. 5

   Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

6. 6

   Add the remaining minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not brown.

7. 7

   Place the steaks in the hot skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preference.

8. 8

   Remove the steaks from the pan. Slice the rolls open and briefly place the cut sides down in the skillet to soak up the garlic pan juices.

9. 9

   Assemble the sandwiches by placing a steak in each roll and topping generously with the fresh green piri-piri sauce.

10. 10

    Serve immediately while hot.
